DTH at a Glance: Broad Witty

My senior year of high school was a mess for a lot of reasons, and my Valentine's Day was kind of the best/worst example of that. I got up at 6 a.m. and drove to volunteer at my friend's 5K for charity, which she overslept for (I hate driving, running and waking up early, so this was a big deal). That night, I broke my curfew and got lost on the highway because my phone had died. Also, I was single. 

But I ended up not hating the whole day. In the hours between pointing people down the right street for the run and pulling over crying in an IHOP parking lot, I hung out at my best friend's house and watched Broad City for six straight hours. I love that show so much and I'm so incredibly jealous of our Swerve assistant editor Morgan, who got to interview Hannibal Burress (who plays Lincoln) ahead of his Raleigh show tonight.

IN SINKING FEELINGS

Will the owner of the Ford Explorer please get their car out of the street? A five-foot-deep sinkhole opened up on Pritchard Avenue Thursday morning due to a burst in the waterline under the road. It should take about a week to repair the street, and residents are being advised to boil their water before using it. 

IN FORUMS AND FUNDING

UNC-system President Margaret Spellings headlined this semester's Carolina Forum alongside Katie Haycock, CEO of the Education Trust.

IN LIFTING CURSES

Women's soccer broke its losing streak on Thursday with a 3-0 win against the Virginia Tech Hokies. First-year Bridgette Andrzejewski had a standout game with two goals, and junior Annie Kingman started the game strong with UNC's first goal in the 14th minute of play. The Tar Heels are looking to carry their winning momentum into Saturday's game against Clemson.
